((Yeah, heh, made a miner mistake, in the last chapter I said it was April… Because I'm a ditz… In reality it has to be like… October-ish… because Donna is like 12 weeks… So… I'm sorry… it was my fault, I should have been paying more attention, and I didn't, so ok, I'm sorry, so in reality it's October and last chapter would be… August-ish… Ok? Again I'm sorry, forgive me? :) ))
Sunday October 15, 1985
Hyde grumbled as he walked into the apartment.
"It wasn't that bad." Jackie said, following behind him. She placed down her purse and keys.
"What kind of people say we have to attend a year's worth of services to have our wedding in the damn church?"
"Steven, don't say damn about a church." Jackie simply said walking into the kitchen to make coffee.
"But seriously Jackie?" Hyde said going into the living room.
"It's not that big of a deal…" Jackie said, following him and sitting next to him.
"I'm not into the whole religious seen… see I'm a—" He was interrupted by Jackie kissing him.
"I don't care, you're coming to church and we're getting married in it." Jackie smiled at him and then put her head on his chest. Hyde looked at the ceiling and shook his head.

"I love you." Eric said leaning against the door. He couldn't hear Donna, and in fear of having another shoe, ornament, or even the iron thrown at him, he was staying on the outside of the room.
Eric leaned against the door trying to hear some kind of sound. There was a faint tune going on in the background, but Eric couldn't make it out.
The phone in the office made Eric jump and he reluctantly left the front of the bedroom door.
"Hello?" Eric said, checking to see if the bedroom door was going to open.
"I have to go to church!"
"Hyde?"
"No, it's Santa Clause." Eric shook his head.
"I went to church too." Eric said, still staring out into the living room, hoping to see the bedroom door swing open.
"Yeah but I have to keep going because the congregation wants me and Jacks to have been members for at least a year."
"Oh." Eric said, only half paying attention.
"And Jackie said it be good because when we have kids we'll be use to going to church. I mean, what the hell is she thinking? The church is runned by the government."
"Actually, Hyde, it isn't, the church is one of the only things the government has no real control over." Eric said, now giving his attention to the phone.
"Shut up Foreman!" Hyde said bitterly.
"Look Hyde, I'm kind-of in the middle of a crisis." Eric said looking into the hall.
"What you do?"
"I don't know, something about buying some new outfits…"
"You told Donna she should buy new clothes?"
"Well maternity clothes, I mean she's twelve weeks already… her regular clothes aren't you know, as, comfortable fitting as they use to be…"
"You called her fat?"
"No! She thinks I did though… and now she's looked in the bedroom with pint of Ben and Jerry's and John Cusack." Eric looked into the hall before sitting down.
"You're an idiot." Hyde said on the other side.
"Yeah, but what's new with that?" Eric asked.
"Nothing. Jackie for some reason is including me in the plans for the wedding. And I guess me giving her my actual opinion is angering her." Eric chuckled a bit.
"I always agreed with Donna."
"I tried that, but Jackie's not accepting it. I said something like I wanted the suits to be blue instead of black, I sware to god she almost had a heart attack."
"You tried to change suits, fashion? Do you forget who your wife is sometimes?"
"Yeah I should have not gone straight for the clothes, but she just wants me to be involved and I know crap about weddings."
"Well… I guess try to talk it out with her."
"Yeah, and don't tell Donna she's fat."
"I'll try." Eric rolled his eyes.
"I got to go Jackie just walked in with a bunch of magazines, jeez."
"Talk to you later, bye." Eric chuckled as he hung up.
Donna walked past the office, she was wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt a size or so too big.
"Donna?" Eric said watching as his wife went to the front door.
"I'm going shopping for new clothes because I'm too fat." Donna then opened the door.
"I never said you were fat!" Eric shouted as the front door closed. "I said they were looking a tad tight, I didn't say you looked like a whale." Eric mumbled as he went into the bedroom.

Tuesday October 17, 1985
Jackie sat looking through a bridal magazine. There were post its on several of the pages. There were catalogs and other magazines sitting next to her on the table. She was sipping her coffee wearing a white button down shirt and lavender skirt. Her hair was pinned up perfectly.
"Three hundred for the trail of roses… hmm…"
"Jackie?" Hyde said walking into the apartment. He went into the kitchen to see the table full of wedding propaganda.
"Hey." Jackie said flipping the page of the magazine.
"Did you just get home from work?" Hyde asked going back into the hall to take off his jacket.
"About half and hour ago." Jackie responded.
"And you dove straight into the wedding stuff?"
"Yes." Jackie looked at him sharply.
"We have a year till this wedding." Hyde said cautiously.
"A year can go by quickly…" Jackie said looking down at her magazine.
"Ok…" Hyde walked to the living room, towards the bedroom.
"Couch." Hyde made a sharp turn and sat on the couch.

Jackie walked into the kitchen and got out the orange juice. She then took down a glass. Suddenly a pair of strong arms captured her around the waist.
"Why are we fighting about this?" Hyde whispered, tightening his grip so she couldn't leave.
"We're not fighting, we're having a disagreement." Jackie said turning around so her face was in his chest.
"Jackie, I could care less about the colors or the location, or what kind of food we're having." Jackie looked at him. "All I care about is that you like it, and that on our wedding day I'll see you walking down the aisle, looking gorgeous, as usual, and that I'll have you in my life forever. I don't care about the minor details, I'm the big picture sort of guy." Hyde smirked. Jackie smiled and put her head on his chest again.
"Ok, I'll stop asking your opinion on every little thing." Jackie smiled.
"Works for me." Hyde leaned down and kissed her.
"You may sleep in the bedroom." Jackie said. Hyde smiled again.
"Maybe I want to do more then sleep." Hyde again kissed her.
"You're such a pervert." Jackie giggled.
"But you love me for it." Hyde picked Jackie up, as she squealed in surprise and carried her to the bedroom.

Wednesday October 18, 1985
"Donna we discussed this whole, drama thing." Eric said from the living room to the bedroom. Donna came out of the bedroom wearing a pair of black pants and a pink shirt that said, 'mommies rock,' with a small guitar on it.
"I look… ridiculous." Donna said, annoyed.
"You look fine." Eric said staring at the TV.
"You're not looking at me!" Eric turned his head looked her up and down.
"You look fine." And he turned back to the TV.
"All of this stuff, sucks!" Donna said walking to the kitchen. She didn't have a huge stomach, but it was difficult fitting into her regular clothes.
"Jackie called." Eric said, seemingly ignoring her last comment.
"Is everything ok?"
"Yeah… She wants us to come down for a week… something about seeing the church, reception halls, and the gown shop."
"I thought she got the church and decide on the reception hall?" Donna said coming out of the kitchen with an apple.
"Something about Hyde being a dill hole." Eric shrugged and Donna laughed.
Donna went and sat next to Eric.
"I'll give her a call later tonight."
"You know… I love you." Eric said kissing Donna softy.
"Suck up…" Donna smiled.
"No, I'm serious… lately; I'm just being a real…"
"Eric." Donna laughed as Eric looked at her confused. "It's a compliment and an insult." Donna laughed again.
"You're a Donna!" Eric said.
"Good. I like being a Donna." Donna laughed a bit and then kissed Eric. "Come on, let's go take a nap." Donna got up and began tugging on Eric's arm.
"A nap… or a nap?"
"A nap, we can cuddle though." Donna smiled. Eric smiled slightly.
"Oh yay…" He said unenthusiastically. Donna simply shook her head and kissed him. "Ok, a little funner."
Donna shook her head and just dragged him to the bedroom.
